| Gothic Eroticism with Nosferatu (2024) and Berry Sangeria Tea | 01 Mar 2025 | 00:29:14 | |
In this episode of Steeped in Cinema, we explore how the film bends the tension between fear and attraction, especially through the eerie, hypnotic dynamic between Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp) and Count Orlock (Bill Sakrsgard). What is is about the vampire myth that pulls us in? Why do we crave the things that terrify us? And what does this film reveal about the connection between submission, power, and longing? And what better way to sip through this conversation than with a blood-red, fruit-forward tea? I'm pairing today's discussion with Berry Sangria from Ohio Tea Company (www.ohioteaco.com) - a tea that starts off sweet and indulgent before finishing with a sharp, unexpected bite...much like the film itself. If you're looking for an incredible selection of loose-leaf teas, be sure to check them out online or visit their shop in Canton, Ohio.
